It had been some long months since they escaped Jakku. Viah looked at her companion as they approached the hyperspace lane towards Kalarba. "Just one more jump!" She smiled, Ric was his usual cold self. "What are you going to tell your partner?"
The conversation Viah had to have with Oden had occupied her mind since they managed to steal the freighter, "I'm gonna tell him, I did what I had to, to get back to him." Ric didn't react. It was eating Viah up, but she wasn't going to tell Oden about what had happened between herself and Ric. There was no need, Ric was cold and ruthless, and it only happened because they thought they would die, "He doesn't need to know the details" she continued.
Suddenly the ship shook "We're slowing down!"
Ric stood up, "I'll man the cannons" he said and left in a hurry. They were being pulled out of hyperspace just uncomfortably far away from Bannistar station. "Ready when you are." Ric spoke calmly over the intercom.
Suddenly shots fired across the bow of the ship, two fang fighters appeared out of nowhere. Viah sped up, their only hope was to reach Bannistar station before the fighters could blow them up. "What is their deal!?"
Ric responded on the intercom, "I guess the smugglers we stole the ship from had unsettled business with the Mandalorians."
The Fang Fighters were persistent, as Viah swerved and dodged to the best of her ability, they were hit again and again, "Shields down!" A loud bang followed by the ships alarm systems filled the air around her. Bannistar station was on the other side of the planet, "I am going to take her down planetside!" Viah shouted on the intercom. "Good, we should be able to lose them on foot. Land near a forest."
As the ship got in worse condition by the minute, they entered the atmosphere under heavy fire.
